Despite its enormous popularity as a sun and sea holiday destination, thanks to its Buddhist traditions, Thailand has also retained a reputation as a country where religion and spirituality are of big part of everyday life. As a result, it's become a destination that's visited by many travellers who want to disengage from the pressures of everyday life and reconnect with something altogether more meaningful - but are they chasing a dream?
In this Travel Show Special, presenter Rajan Datar visits Buddhist temples, monastic retreats and exclusive spas across Thailand in search of enlightenment, and asks if the country's reputation as a spiritual sanctuary could be under threat as increasing wealth and consumerism take hold.
